Profound Logic Software also claims RPGsp is the ideal solution for iSeries Web development. Like the silver winner in this category, it produces ILE RPG/CGI code quickly to build Web applications. And in one environment you can create new Web applications, convert green screen programs to Web applications and maintain legacy code.

RPGsp ease of use stands out. It was designed with the average RPG programmer in mind. The product's developers say even those who have no prior knowledge of the Web or HTML are succeeding with it.

Our judges, however, had mixed feelings about the product. While one was very impressed with it, particularly the ease in which RPG source can be edited inside the HTML, another said it lacks the flexibility and integration of newer Web technologies such as JSF that cut out much of the standard Web development needed in JSP applications.
